First, it was verified by a satellite-based fog detection algorithm and in situ observation data. In the simulation, longwave (infrared) radiative cooling (LRC) with a downward turbulent sensible heat flux (SHF), due to the turbulence after sunset, triggered cloud formation over the surface when warm-moist air advection occurred. At night, warm air advection with continuous cooling due to longwave radiation and SHF near the surface modulated the change of the SHF from downward to upward, resulting in a drastic increase in the turbulent latent heat flux (LHF) that provided sufficient moisture at the lower atmosphere (self-moistening). This condition represents a transition from cold-sea fog to warm-sea fog. Enhanced turbulent mixing driven by a buoyancy force increased the depth of the sea fog and the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) height, even at nighttime. In addition, cold air advection with a prevailing northerly wind at the top of the MABL led to a drastic increase in turbulent mixing and the MABL height and rapid growth of the height of sea fog. After sunrise, shortwave radiative warming in the fog layers offsetting the LRC near the surface weakened thermal instability, which contributed to the reduction in the MABL height, even during the daytime. In addition, dry advection of the northerly wind induced dissipation of the fog via evaporation. An additional sensitivity test of sea surface salinity showed weaker and shallower sea fog than the control due to the decrease in both the LHF and local self-moistening. Detailed findings from the simulated fog event can help to provide better guidance for fog detection using remote sensing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13081480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,12]],"date-time":"2021-04-12T11:05:06Z","timestamp":1618225506000},"page":"1480","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Advection Fog over the Eastern Yellow Sea: WRF Simulation and Its Verification by Satellite and In Situ Observations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2129-9753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eunjeong","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Institute of Atmospheric Prediction Systems, Seoul 07071, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5336-9536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jung-Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea"}]},{"given":"Ki-Young","family":"Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, Busan 49111, Korea"}]},{"given":"Yang-Ki","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Koracin, D., and Dorman, C.
